Niels Nkounkou

Most recently, reports from October 2026 state his loan to Nice includes a purchase option of €4.5 million. In August 2026, reports linked to Celtic's interest valued him at around €3 million, while his Transfermarkt value was cited as €2.6 million. In April 2026, a purchase obligation for Torino was reportedly set at €5.5 million, which was not triggered. His loan to Torino in August 2025 was reported with varying structures, including a €500,000 loan fee with a €5 million option, and a €1.5 million loan fee with a €6 million option. His completed transfer from Saint-Étienne to Eintracht Frankfurt in September 2023 was for a reported €7.5 million.

Our valuation is driven primarily by the most recent and concrete figure available: the reported €4.5 million purchase option included in Niels Nkounkou's loan to OGC Nice. This figure represents a realistic future transfer fee. The lower end of our range is informed by other recent valuations around €3 million and a Transfermarkt value of €2.6 million, reflecting his decreased market standing since his €7.5 million transfer to Frankfurt in 2023. The upper end accounts for a previously reported, though untriggered, purchase obligation of €5.5 million.
